Japan

This is by far the worst movie I've watched in my entire life. I cannot believe that an actor like Karthi would choose to make a movie like this. It does not even fall into the category of 'so bad that it's good'. This movie is horrible at every aspect and must be avoided at all costs.

There is no progression to the story, nothing to look forward to. There's loud background music at every step of the way and too many unnecessary sub plots. Watching the movie honestly felt like a punishment. I couldn't even sit through the entire duration of the movie. My humble request to everyone would be to watch any movie other than this.

I was so disappointed by the movie that I had to write a review on it (also happens to be my first IMDb review).

Cops in search of a culprit named 'Japan' for robbing a jewellery shop.

Unexpected film from Actor Karthi (played as a lead 'Japan') and director Raju Murugan. Unexpected in the sense 'disappointed'.

The main reason was the poor screenplay. The film started, travelled and ended in a complete boring way. Not even attractive in a single scene. None of the technical aspects supported this film. The composition and a few frames of this film worked from a cinematography aspect. Even the title card didn't perfectly made and the tag animation of Karthi's 25 (The 25th film of the actor who performed the 'Japan' character)too had poor graphics. The cast performed really well.

Nothing positive to say about this film. Really disappointing!! This film would have been better if the importance of Japan's character gave to the screenplay. Only the Japan character, Karthi's performance, his costume design and make up shines.

Being a big fan of Karthi's movies, it's disappointing to say that if I were to rank them from worst to best, this particular film unfortunately takes the top spot. I had a challenging time with it - the story felt weak, the plot was confusing, and the attempts at humor just didn't work for me. The pacing issues made both halves of the movie drag on, leaving me pretty disappointed.

The core problem was the story itself - it lacked the depth and complexity that I usually appreciate in Karthi's films. The way the plot unfolded felt disjointed, making it hard to stay connected with the characters. The humor fell flat, and at times, it was just plain boring.

Despite Karthi's efforts with a new approach to his character, something didn't click on screen. Whether it's the script or directorial choices, the effort didn't translate well.

Now, while this film might currently hold the "worst" position in my ranking, I still have faith in Karthi's talent. Every artist faces ups and downs, and I'm hopeful that this is just a temporary setback in his career. I look forward to seeing him bounce back with stronger projects. This review isn't a critique of his entire filmography - it's more like a rough patch that I hope he moves past soon.

I wonder what made anyone involved to even make this movie. The two story lines are so abhorrent and unbearable meandering everywhere but going nowhere. Karthi tries to make an impact but falls flat in his face with every scene being more cringeworthy than the last. The violence scenes seem unnecessary and the characters from his henchmen to the cops don't add any meaning. The worst is the cheap copycat of the GVM cop role whose entire role is to keep chasing the culprit.

The scene where the so called movie about Japan was made kicks in at about five mins. If you can survive and enjoy the movie scene which runs for five mins then please continue with the movie but if you can't just get out and walk away.

Life's too short to waste three hours on this movie.

This movie is one of the prime examples of enduring oneself in cinematic torture, and I find myself envying those who had the foresight to download this film instead of wasting their time and money at the theatre. I wish the critically acclaimed Raju Murugan didn't indulge in pleasuring himself with visual appeal over narrative coherence.

This is solely made for the sake of aesthetic buffoonery. The gags are not organic, and the film feels forced from start to finish.

I would not recommend it to anyone, even those who loves the director's previous work or the fans of actor Karthi. I know Karthi has delighted audience with his creative endeavours churning out some good to passable films. But this film is desperate to be edgy and juvenile that both the Director and cast forgot what it means to make a decent cinema.

In closing, this is a film that will make you wish you could get back the time you wasted watching it. Those who are planning, Run far, far away and reclaim those precious minutes of your life. You'll thank me later.
